Who is the target audience? What are the implications? Who is the cartoon NOT intended for? How do you think it will effect the primary race? Explain any appeals. DUE 3/1
The targeted audience to this cartoon, I would say are those that vote and those that live in Michigan. Or those that simply don't like Mitt Romney.
The implications in this cartoon is that Romney will have the states literally falling apart if he becomes president. I honestly don't think that it will affect the primaries because people are going to vote for him no matter what the artist wants.
The appeals are pathos because some people feel really strong about having Romney as president and they don't think that he'll do any more harm to the United States.
The target audience is everyone living in Michigan who will be voting in the Republican primary race. You can deduce this from three things: the shape of the state on the mitt, the mention of Detroit, and that the word 'Michigan' is used to describe this cartton.
The cartoon implies that Mitt Romney would cause neglect or destruction to the state of Michigan by not intervening if they ever needed help. Romney would be the death of the state.
The cartoon is not intended for anyone outside of Michigan, because they can't vote in Michigan's primary election.
I'm unsure how this will effect the primary race. On one hand, the idea that Romney would destroy the state could be a strong deterrent for those voting in Michigan. On the other hand, this might actually help Romney's campaign by giving him more advertising, albeit negative advertising. People tend to vote for the name they recognize the most, not on the political standings of that individual, so even though the cartoonist may be opposed to Romney, he may in fact be aiding Romney.
Pathos is relied upon strongly by invoking that Romney would neglect Michigan and let it fall into disrepair. I don't see any ethos or logos within the cartoon.
The audiance that this cartoon applies to are people in Michigan. Those that are going to be voting in Michigan. The implications of the cartoon is that Mitt Romney would cause destruction to the state. Cause he would probably not really care for the state at all. I think this cartoon isn't attended for people who are for Romney and they agree with what he says and do. I don't think it will affect the primary race really. Because people look at the United States as a whole and not as individual states. So if one state to is die cause of Romney's actions that okay to some people. I can see the appeals of pathos mostly and a little bit of ethos. Pathos because of the fact that Michigan doesn't want to go down because of Romney's actions and what he promises. Ethos because you see that glove and see that its falling to just pieces of yarn. The glove is the people that of Michigan. And Romney stamping it with "Let Detroit go Bankrupt." That in its self it proof enough that Romney has something against Michigan.
The targeted audience are those who live in Michigan, this is deduced by the states outline stitched into the glove or mitt as it is reffered to in the cartoon. The implifications are clear, Romney will have Detroit bankrupt by not helping it in its current state. Romney will literally have the whole state of Michigan deteriorating before our very eyes. This is not intened for anyone who doesnt live in Michigan because no one else but those who live in Michigan can vote in its primary election. This could have a darastic effect on the primary elections because clearly stated within this cartoon, Romney will cause Michigan to plummit. Pathos is highly appealed within this cartoon because it envokes anger in Romney because if he does win the primary election things could just begin their slow deterioration. Ethos and Logos are not highly appealed in this cartoon to be relevent.
The Michigan primaries are coming up, and voters have to choose who to vote for. The audience is the people voting in Michigan. The raveling glove implies that voters in Michigan shouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney, because he will not help them (if he was president). He would let them mitt unravel, and Michigan go bankrupt. This is not intended for people who can not vote in the Michigan primary (democrats or non-Michigan residents). Hopefully this will affect the primary enough that people will look more into Mitt Romney and the other candidates, before they vote, to find their intentions. If they don't look more into the facts, they probably won’t vote for Romney because they don't want to go bankrupt. Pathos is mainly appealed to because it is met to scare you from voting for Romney. The artist does appeal to ethos a little, because they are obviously for the people of Michigan, who are voting and can relate and believe the cartoon. I don't think there is an appeal to logos.
Keifer coggin Its obvious that the intended audience isn't actually Detroit itself. Why one earth would some one from their own state want it to go bankrupt? That's just common scene, but now that I think about it, it isn't actually that common.
The attended audience, must be just about everyone else. The implications that are implied are that its, like all Michiganders, there state is like a glove, and like a glove it has spent its money, thread by thread. Now that much of the glove is gone and it keeps on going people are concerned. This isn't the first time this is happened in Detroit. Back in the 1960's they had the same problem. History just repeats itself and this is just proving one of its causes as such.
The problem with this is the fact that last time we did bail out Detroit and look what happened, they spent to much and didn't stop, they are in the same situation then as now. As for the primary, it will be interesting to see how the candidates will try and "ruse and contrive" the city of Detroit, as they all try to be the "Mr.Nice-guy" in the city. Just like in Florida, they tried to play the "I'm for you guys" card, and I don't
The audience of this political cartoon is Michiganites, specifically the poor in Michigan. This cartoon is yet another jab at Romney's statement saying that he wasn't too worried about the poor because they have safety nets and people took it as my boy Willard saying that he didn't give a hoot about poor people. I feel that the artist is also saying the Mitt's mitt (that's a lawlzy play on words) and homestate of Michigan, is going to fall apart if he doesn't try to help the poor people of Detroit. The cartoon is not directed at rich Michiganites or non-Michiganites. I don't think that it will affect the primary that much because once one bad thing for one candidate seems terrible, everyone forgets about it when another candidate does something that seems horrible. That and my boy Willard is amazing so everyone would still vote for him. This cartoon highly appeals to pathos by being about the future of the poor in Michigan and to Michiganites as a whole which is a subject that is important to many people. I don't really see any appeals to ethos or logos.
The audience the artist is targeting with this cartoon are the voters of Michigan, specifically Detroit and specifically those who are Romney supporters. The audience is not targeted to anybody else outside of Michigan. The artist has depicted a mitt with Michigan on it that is unraveling, and beside it it says "Mitts Michigan Mitt" implying that Romney being elected into office would doom Michigan. If that wasn't a dead give away there's also the words "let Detroit go bankrupt" written on the glove. I'm assuming the artist is making this claim based on the statement that Romney made a couple weeks ago about the poor not being priority over the general public. As for the primary, this obviously didn't change the outcome of the election, but even if I hadn't known the results I wouldn't have thought this cartoon could sway more than a few voters if that. This cartoon appeals to pathos because it is intended to draw out emotions by offering an image of the downfall of an economy and State. I don't think this appeals to either ethos or pathos.
The targeted audience is mainly the electorate of Michigan, because of the primary that is coming up. And as for the implications, it's directly related to an article that has the same title in the New York Times; the article explained how Mitt Romney was opposing Obama's plan to bail out the auto industry, which provides millions of jobs. Romney denied those intentions and tried to explain that he just thought that if they handled their bankruptcy, they could benefit. Although the main audience is Michigan residents, I wouldn't necessarily say that other state's residents' shouldn't pay attention. People from the rest of the nation should pay attention to what Romney wants to do with our nation... SO Overall it's not intended for other people of the nation, but they should still take interest in it. This cartoon appeals greatly to ethos, no common person who doesn't pay attention to headlines would know what this is referring to. Also pathos is implied a little bit because it's about 2/3 of our American auto industry possibly going bankrupt and disappearing. Millions would lose jobs, and it would impact our entire nation, not just Detroit.
A classic play on words, this cartoon is depicting a tattered and frayed kitchen mitt. Referring to the way Romney might run the country, in a tattered manner, the cartoonist is saying that maybe Romney isn't the best choice for our government at the moment. He would be utter destruction, and deteriorate and disintegrate the little hope for the economy we have left. The implication here is that Romney is NOT the choice.
The targeted audience is everyone voting in Michigan this year, the people. On the other hand, this cartoon is not meant for anyone outside of the state of Michigan, they have no say in the primary election.
I believe this will have an IMMENSE effect on the primary race. As Codie said in her above blog, people often tend to go uneducated about who they're voting for. Romney will be getting media left and right over these next few weeks, and many voters will look for a name that stands out- both negatively and positively- and have that influence they're decision. Romney could come out of this smelling like a rose.
The main appeal I'm seeing here is pathos. It's evoking a sense of fear in you and leaving you wondering as to what's going to happen next with our country.
I feel that the targetted audience are people from Michigan. Recently it was said that Romney was against the Detroit Bailout. The aritist obviously has a very strong opinion about it; it appears that they feel that if Romney gets into office Michigan will,"fall apart at the seems." Seeing as how the Michigan Primaries are coming up soon, I think that the artist is intending this only for citizens of Michigan. Afterall, they are the only ones who can vote in the Primary. The artist seems to warn of the possible danger in voting FOR Romney: if they do the state might fall to pieces. Depending on the people who actually listen, or even pay attention to political campaigns, the people of Michigan might be swayed to NOT choosing Romney because of his lack of concern for their banks.
This cartoon appeals to pathos and ethos in my opinion. The appeals to pathos are plainly seen in the cartoon, as the artist clearly uses emotions such as sympathy and anger to get the point across. I think that the artist also appeals to ethos because they create a sense of trust in the audience. Theey appear to have the viewer's best interest in mind and that makes them more credible and trustworthy to the audience.
The target of this cartoon is Michigan voters, specifically republican voters who would have voted in yesterday’s primary. The cartoon implies that Mitt doesn’t care about his home state of Michigan, shown by the deteriorating oven mitt. The cartoon quotes an article he wrote a while back stating that Detroit should just have gone bankrupt. This cartoon is not for the rest of the population that doesn’t live in Michigan. This cartoon itself probably didn’t affect the primary much, but the quote that Romney said about letting Detroit go bankrupt angered a lot of people, causing him to only win by 3% in his home state. Pathos is the only appeal in this cartoon. It gets an emotional response from people by showing them that Romney doesn’t care about them.
